FEBRUARY 11th 4-6pm Unfolding the Lotus-Hip Opening Workshop with Kelli

So much of our days are spent sitting in chairs, in the car, and at the office. All this sitting does damage, builds scar tissue and causes pain in the hips and lower back. By sequentially stretching, strengthening, and eliminating the scar tissue within the muscles of the hips one can begin to heal the hips. As the hips heal, agility, range of motion, and day-to-day comfort increase.

The workshop begins with targeted breathing techniques to wake up the hips internally. Then each muscle group of the hips are sequentially strengthened through dynamic movements. Each muscle group will then be stretched through Yoga Postures and deep hip opening Yin postures. Following stretching, deep internal scar tissue will be dealt with using a foam roller.
